SEX WITH THE VIRGIN MAID novel Chapter 22

"Sir?" Hera called out, not believing who her eyes were staring at.

He was the very last person that she had been expecting to see. Why would he show up here? Hera studied him closely, he looked worn out and pretty much exhausted but she'll be crazy before she tells him that. She was pretty certain that he knows that as well.

"Are you okay sir?" She was forced to ask because he doesn't look good at all.

"Can I come in?"

Hera hesitated. The last time they were alone together, he had kissed and done certain things that almost fried her senses. Was it worth it to risk letting him into her apartment? What if he does something worse to her?

Bryce saw the indecision in her eyes as she fought within herself. He knows that he could be a prick but why couldn't she trust him? He had promised not to touch her–yet.

And he thought that they were finally on the same page? She was still very much scared of him.

"I won't do anything you don't approve of" He added, and she looked up at his face to confirm if he was truly being sincere with her.

A minute passed and then two before she finally let go of the door knob and shifted to the side for him to enter.

She watched him take slow strides and she held the door for him, as though she was his entourage or personal bodyguard.

He got in and she quietly shut the door before proceeding to the couch where she had left her items unused.

"What are you doing?" He asked pulling off his shoes.

Her eyes lit up at that question "I'm trying to call my sister from the Convent sir. I've really missed her. I haven't been able to call ever since I started working here."

"And why is that?" He questioned with an arched brow, expectantly waiting for her answer.

She bit her lower lips nervously "Well because..." She trailed off. She was too embarrassed to tell him the reason but she knew that she has to because she cannot lie to him. She doesn't lie.

"I don't have a cellphone" she blurted out "I promised to get one as soon I get my paycheck but that isn't happening until the end of the month so I opted to use that of Mariam's."

"Is that what you were too scared to tell me?" He inquired and she nodded yes.

Bryce looked at her closely. He doesn't like them innocent but why is this one so different than the rest?

"We're going out tonight." He announced.

He removed his shoes completely and rested his head on the couch that he was seated on.

"But where are we going?" She asked, perplexed.

Hera saw him close his eyes shut. Was he sleeping on her couch?

There was no escaping from this now. He was in her apartment. What is she going to do now?

"Sir?" She called out but only incoherent noises came as a reply. He was fast asleep and snoring lightly.

Hera abandoned her mission. There's no way she's calling the sisters with a man in her apartment. If they should find the slightest idea about it, she'll be doomed.

She decided to take care of the laundry that was lying hopelessly on the couch.

Today was just not her day at all.

*.*.*

Bryce didn't know how long he passed out but when he opened his eyes, he realized that he wasn't in his bedroom.

He scanned the entire room and that's when it hit him that he was in Hera's apartment. He glanced through his watch. It was already late In evening.

Hera changed out of her towel and wore one of her nice dresses. A simple shirt and a pencil skirt. She tied her blonde hair up in a simple bun that framed her face nicely then threw her feet into her neat pair of flats.

"All done." She mumbled wistfully as she thought about the possible to cancel.

She couldn't though even if she wanted to. It's an order from her boss after all.

Hera picked up a small purse before exiting her apartment, making sure to slam the door shut.

She met Bryce outside and he gave her the look.

"I'm ready sir." Hera proudly announced with a wide grin on her face.

"You're what?" He asked, taking in the state of her dress.

Maybe he should've just picked out an outfit for her. She looked like a glorified secretary. They were going out and not taking a trip to the business conference.

Hera who had noticed the sudden look on his face shifted uncomfortably.

"Do you not like my outfit?" She asked, not understanding why it was suddenly important though.

Bryce blinked "No." He blurted out "It's beautiful. You look really beautiful."

Hera's cheeks heated up at that compliment and she felt a tingly sensation bubble inside her.

She couldn't understand why his compliment made her feel all sort of strange things and what is worst is that she couldn't describe if it was a good feeling or a bad one.
